Judæo-Aramaic language[edit]

Delete? I don't see a Judaeo-English article, and the English Jews use, has been Hebrew-influenced in the say way. As in people say "Shabbat" or "Shabbos" instead of "Sabbath." ems 13:28, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Solution - merge all 5 subset articles. (Why didn't I think of this before submitting afd?) ems 13:37, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - Actually there is a Judeo-English Article: It's called Yinglish, just like Judaeo-German is called Yiddish. I'm not sure that many people will have the knowledge to say much about it, but that's not why we delete articles on Wikipedia.
  - Comment - interesting. Added redirects. ems 11:54, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Against - Leave it alone SF2K1 01:54, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: The real solution here is to expand this article as well as the other 5 articles, which cover daughter languages of the article that this one is supposed to be about. Tom e r ^talk 05:39, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and expand.--DieWeibeRose 08:42, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I am convinced keep the article and expand. ems 11:54, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

NOTE: vote change by originator of this AfD. Tom e r ^talk 12:45, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Question - Can we call this a keep? or just leave it open and let it run its course? Tomer^talk 12:45, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - I am not an admin, but so far everyone thinks it should be a keep, include that wacko that submitted this AfD, hehehe. ems 15:03, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep — these are real languages. I wrote the original articles on the different Judaeo-Aramaic languages. They have much in common, but lack overall mutual intelligibility. Combining the articles would be a retrograde step. It is useful to have an article that can direct the reader to the articles on the individual languages, but could also discuss their position. Wikipedia is a work in progress, and it would be careless to kill off something that is in development. This really is not the kind of article that should be submitted to AFD. --Gareth Hughes 21:07, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
